L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna
Iż-żewġ sinjali li ssieħbu l-kelma li ħallielna Pawlu huma propju l-ħelsien mill-lifgħa velenuża u l-fejqan ta’ missier Publiju u tal-morda kollha tal-gżira. Huma dawn iż-żewġ sinjali fost il-lista li jsemmi Ġesù fl-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna, li jsiru sinjal tal-qawwa tiegħu u tal-preżenza tiegħu fostna. Illum f’dan il-jum solenni tal-10 ta’ Frar, nitolbu lill-Mulej ikun għalina salvatur u jkun għalina emanuel… Read more »

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it… Read more »
L-omelija tal-Isqof Joseph Galea-Curmi
“Wissiehom biex ma jgħidu lil ħadd” (Mk 7:36). Dan hu li naqraw fuq Ġesù llum, fl-Evanġelju skont San Mark, wara li fejjaq lil wieħed raġel li kien trux u mbikkem. L-Evanġelju jgħid li lil dan ir-raġel ġabuh quddiem Ġesù biex “iqiegħed idejh fuqu” (Mk 7:32). U li jagħmel Ġesù l-ewwel hu li joħorġu għalih waħdu minn qalb in-nies. Fl-Evanġelju hemm dik id-deskrizzjoni ta’ kif Ġesù jfejqu u kif dal-bniedem beda jisma’ u beda jitkellem… Read more »

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
In our itinerary of catechesis on the vices and virtues, today we will look at a rather ugly vice, sorrow, understood as a despondency of the soul, a constant affliction that prevents man for feeling joy at his own existence.
